Tspoons Cooking School

I recently attended a cooking class at Tspoons in San Juan Capistrano. Prior to that many people told me it was a great experience, so I was finally glad to make it. A cooking class at Tspoons is good for those with little food knowledge and fun for those that are more advanced. A great idea for friends, dates, or family. One tip: Check with others that you are going with for food allergies, then let Tspoons know to make substitutions in their prep work. Also, a good idea to bring a bottle of wine for you and your party to share.
The night I attended was Italian cuisine.

Butternut Squash Risotto
by Tspoons Cooking School
(Yield: 4 servings)
Ingredients
• 1 pound butternut squash, peeled, seeds removed, cut into ó inch cubes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
• 4 cups vegetable stock, hot
• 2 oz. unsalted butter
• 1 yellow onion, minced
• 1 cup Arborio rice
• 1/2 cup white wine
• 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
Preparation
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the squash on a sheet pan and toss with olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast for 20 minutes, tossing
once, until very tender. Set aside.
• In a pot, melt butter and sauté onions on medium-low heat for about4 minutes, or until onions are
translucent. Add the rice and stir to coat the grains with butter.
• Add wine to deglaze and cook for 2 minutes until half of the wine has evaporated.
• Add half of the stock. Stir, and simmer until the stock is completely absorbed, about 6-8 minutes. Add
one more cup of stock and stir until completely absorbed then add remaining stock (each time stock is
added, makes sure to cook until the mixture seems a little dry, before adding more stock. Continue
until the rice is cooked through, but still al dente, about 20 minutes total.
• Once rice is done, turn off heat and add the roasted squash and Parmesan. Mix well and serve
immediately.
